The Best and Worst of 2010 Award List

2010 was a great year, namely because it was our first. A lot of changes took place and during this first year we had some great moments as well as some that made you shake your head. We feel this compilation reflects the best and worst that 2010 had to offer in our respective areas of coverage. Enjoy the list:

Djborya has had quite a year running incredible 1/4 and 60-130 times in his turbo E30. We saw several records fall this year but becoming the only BMW in the 4's 60-130 is rarefied air indeed. Congratulations Boris!

Runner-up: Mikewads and dodger63 both first in the 10's for their respective platforms, E92 M3 and C63 AMG.

This was a tough one as we could not choose favorites, so we have a tie. Mikewads raised the bar for the E92 M3 in 2010 running record 60-130's as well as being the first to hit 10's. Dodger63 with his MHP powered C63 was the first to hit 10's on his platform as well as run some record 60-130's himself. We have to call this one a draw.

This was our most popular story of the year by far. Nothing even came close, all the major blogs picked it up and it really vaulted BimmerBoost into the mainstream. After this went up Discovery Automotive took their site down and has not been heard from since. Hopefully, their doors have been closed, permanently.

This was in our opinion far and way the best BMW article written in 2010. This article has made it onto every BMW forum, even those who refuse to acknowledge the existence of BimmerBoost, and has received routine praise throughout the community. A little self-serving, but we firmly believe it was the best of 2010.

Former_boosted_IS put out a good amount of top quality reviews and DIY's in 2010. This is just one of his many articles but we feel this one is the best. It explains why he chose the setup he chose along with the data to back it up. It is incredibly detailed and simply sets the standard by which all other reviews and DIY's are measured.

Not BMW's fault. I think the issue is overrated. The engine responds great to mods and has taken abuse all the way up to the MAP sensor limit. 530WHP+ with nitrous. Almost in the 10s with just bolt ons.

Not to mention you can have it for relatively cheap. Also the mods for it are cheap.

I would not be in a BMW if it were not for the N54.

Not BMW's fault? Who is at fault owners? Not possible since a large number of failures came from unmodded cars. Some cars with 5+ and some with a failure within 1K miles of ownership.
